The Secret Boozy Ingredient To Get The Most Decadent Brownies Ever
By Jessica Fleming-Montoya
There are plenty of tips for making the perfect brownies, but if you want to make next-level adult brownies, Irish cream is the boozy ingredient you need.
Besides its silky-smooth milky flavor, Irish cream has chocolate and vanilla notes that make your brownies sweet, gooey, and extra decadent.
The easiest way to make brownies with Irish cream is to use a packaged brownie mix. Then, you'll want to add between ¼ cup and 1 cup of the liqueur to your batter.
In general, the Irish cream will replace the water or milk indicated in the box mix instructions, although you may find homemade recipes that still call for these ingredients.
To give your brownies an even stronger Irish cream flavor, you can make a traditional American buttercream and add a few tablespoons of Irish cream to the mix.
This will result in a frosting that complements your brownies' new flavor, thus providing you with an extra delicious grown-up dessert you can enjoy at your discretion.
